[England]; August 8, 1919. A letter to [Sydney] Cockerell, in which

gratifying."

Parliament, seeking a contribution to the Council for Civil
Liberties. In a hand-written postscript, marked "personal," Forster
mentions the Sedition Bill before Parliament, writing in part,
"I agree that some of the opposition to the Bill has been a bit
fictitious and unwise. I hope though that you will find time to go
into the Bill a little, since you have cared to join our list of
vice presidents, and will decide how best it may be
opposed."

E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was an English novelist, short story
writer, essayist, and librettist, known for his works A Room
with a View (1908), Howards End (1910), and A Passage
to India (1924).

The pre and post sales experience was wonderful and flawless. Heritage has the best in-house operation I have ever seen and their people are not only professional but fun to work with, especially Steve C.

As for Heritage's online system… Yes the interface is more complex than what we are used to with SAN but what is behind that interface is amazing for sellers and buyers alike. It is real time and for a real serious auction buyer there is nothing better in the auction industry, bar none.
